►The 8HP is not a normal automatic transmission. It's actually a break through for transmission performance in general as it not only provides lightning quick smooth shifts but it also offers a wide range of potential applications. In fact, the 8HP transmission is so good from a performance standpoint that it is used in the BMW M235iR race car in place of a manual, dual clutch, or sequential transmission. The 8HP will also be in the upcoming F90 M5 as well.

While this DIY is performed on an F30 328i which is equipped with an 8HP45 with a plastic oil pan, the overall procedure is going to be very similar across all 8HP transmissions for a basic drain and fill service. I recommend changing the fluid on this transmission at least every 50K miles.If you drive the car hard or use it for more than regular duty I recommend shortening the interval to 40K miles or less.
